1. President Barack Obama's meeting with Britain's Queen Elizabeth is just one item on his busy agenda ahead of G-20 summit in London. During his first European trip as president, Obama also accepted the invitations to visit Russia and China later this year.

2. Protestors have been clashing with riot police in London. Some demonstrators smashed windows and broke into the Royal Bank of Scotland. Some financial workers have been wearing jeans instead of suits to blend in with the crowd. Others have been leaning out of the office windows, taunting the protestors.

3. Jailed financier Bernard Madoff's 55-foot luxury yacht and a smaller vessel have been seized by US Marshals in Florida.

Court documents show Madoff and his wife had 823 million dollars in assets at the end of last year.

4. An Ohio man is charged operating under the influence while riding this motorized barstool. Police say Kile Wygle admitted he had 15 beers and was drunk when he was stopped.
